On the topic of being shy:


I have realized that no matter how much I will express my opinions to the people I know and love, I can never ever talk to strangers. Especially guys. I was so mad at myself today. If I could, I would have kicked my own butt. So I was waiting in the main building to receive my transcript so I could study abroad this summer. It's sweltering so I'm sitting there waiting for the guy to come out with the paperwork. This guy comes and sits next me. He's kind of cute, artsy and funky looking, and he says "hey, how's it goin" and I mumbled something like "pretty good" and half smiled. Then I turned to stone. What was I supposed to say? "So, waiting for your transcript?" Uh, yeah of course he is! I was so scared of sounding dumb, I didn't say anything at all. As soon as the guy came out I grabbed the envelope and ran. I felt so stupid and so mad at myself. Why can't I just be myself and speak my mind? I've held my tongue for so long around people I don't know I guess. I don't know if I'll ever get over it, but I sure hope so, because my chances at meeting new people right now are slim to none. OY!! Any words of wisdom would be great. Anyway, back to the studying for the gazillion number of tests and quizzes in the next 5 days. See ya.

I went to see a screening of The Life of David Gale tonight. It really was an excellent movie. And I'm not biased that a lot of it was filmed at UT and Texas in general, because there were too many stereotypes to count and their times of travel between certain towns was a bit off. But it had a good story. Kevin Spacey is my favorite actor, so this chalks up another movie that gives him the total respect that he deserves. Bravo Kevin! Excellent casting (for the rest of the characters too). I definitely recommend that everyone see it when it comes out. Especially if you're ever had a class in the Garrison lecture hall. :) That was a cool feeling. I could point out where I sat in my history class that was in the same room.

Other than that, it's been quite a week. Yes, and it's only Tuesday! 6 of us from my kickboxing class performed a demo for a bunch of Austin teachers and administrators trying to promote the Center of Martial Arts. We had been preparing for the past 3 days about 2 hours at a time. We didn't screw up once!! It was so awesome. Larry taped it and I got to sneak a peak at it during class today. We looked so good! So pristine, well as pristine as kickboxing gets. I'm really glad I was able to participate in it. It also helped me get to know a couple of people better, so I look forward to going to classes even more now. Can't wait to go tomorrow. :)
Well, I just found out I have a Spanish test on Friday. What a way to start off the weekend. If you're on AIM, IM me anyway cause knowing me, I'll probably be procrastinating anyway. Alrighty, off to trudge my butt through the rest of the week. Adios amigos.

Oh yeah, just a thought...

Have you ever looked in the mirror and thought to yourself, I am a truly beautiful human being?

It doesn't happen frequently, but it makes me smile to know that I can think that about myself sometimes. :)

On with the show!!!

Valentines didn't suck, but there's always room for improvement.


Daredevil

So we went to see Daredevil with Rick, Druck, Richa, Wolf, Amanda, Sara and Benton. It was a very large date. Anyway, if you know anything about Daredevil, you would really enjoy this movie. I knew nothing beforehand about it, so I thought the movie sucked. A lot. The only consolation I had was watching Ben Affleck for 90 minutes. Ben Affleck acting like he's blind was disturbingly hot. Especially when he had that far off look in his eyes. Ahem, anyway, congrats J-Lo, I wouldn't mind waking up to that every morning either. Haha here's the perfect morning scenario for me at the moment. Waking up with Ben Affleck on one side and Brandon Boyd on the other! WOW! That's the coolest thought I've had all day! hehehe

Later...

After the movie we came back. The guys ate and then we all, minus A, S & B, played board games at the guys apartment. It was pretty fun. I was kind of being a little bitch though because I was irritated earlier that day from a certain email from a certain person that I didn't want to receive that day. So here's a big F U in response to the email. He doesn't read my blog anyway, but y'all know who I'm talking about. Any bally who, I had a couple of smirnoffs and that didn't help the bitch aspect cause we all know what happens to Alex's personality when she gets tipsy. She gets a big mouth and doesn't care. Oy.... Sorry guys.

Today (Saturday)

My parents and sister came to Austin today. :) Yay I miss them alot, especially right after they leave. The came about 5 pm and we (family and Richa) went out to eat. That was a werid experience. It was almost like every restaurant we went to was actually trying to keep up from eating. There was a rediculous 2 hours wait at Spaghetti warehouse, Friday's cooking equipment was broke and they were only serving cold food. Chili's and every restaurant around it had an hour wait. So we finally just decided to sit tight at Chili's. It turned out to only be a half an hour, so that was ok. Our waiter was a little slow but he kept smiling at me and he was cute, so I didn't mind. We came back and my parents went home. I miss them already. As soon as they left, Richa took off to do something career-like. So I am all alone once again, but I'm ok. I called Will to watch a movie but he wasn't home. So I have been playing on the itnernet and am going to go to bed early since I have kickboxing demo practice at 10:30 tomorrow morning and softball practice at 3, hopefully. Hope y'all's weekend has gone well. Oh, if you're a guest to my blog, as in not a wonderful faithful regular, do leave a comment with your AIM name and maybe we'll chat sometime!! LAterZ!
